Product Description
From the Back Cover
Early one summer’s morning Poppy, Dusty, Primrose and Wilfred leave Brambly Hedge behind and set sail in Dusty’s boat the 'Periwinkle', on a journey that will take them down the river to Sandy Bay. But it isn’t all plain sailing and the mice have an important mission to fulfil before they can return to Brambly Hedge…
The mice of Brambly Hedge have many adventures but they always have time for fun too. All through the year, they mark the seasons with feasts and festivities and, whether it be a little mouse’s birthday, an eagerly awaited wedding or the first day of spring, the mice never miss an opportunity to meet and celebrate.

Jill Barklem has been drawn to the natural world ever since childhood. While training as an illustrator at St Martin’s School of Art, her long journeys to college gave her time to escape into the imaginary world of a colony of mice, later to be developed as the enchanting miniature world of Brambly Hedge. Jill lives in Epping, Essex.

For many generations, families of mice have made their homes in the roots and trunks of the trees of Brambly Hedge, a dense and tangled hedgerow that borders the field on the other side of the stream. Read the first page

Charming read aloud
27 Mar 2000
By A Customer
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
This book is destined to become a favorite in our house. The word charming doesn't even begin to describe it. This is the perfect read-aloud for young ones. The story is interesting and full without being frightening in any way. it has been a problem for us to find read-aloud's that would hold our daughter's attention and not scare her. I intend to read the others in this series, as well. By the way, our daughter is 2 and enjoys this book, but I can see it having a very long life - there's much to explore in the story and the wonderful illustrations. Very similar to Beatrix Potter, but much more gentle.

Ahoy, There, Me Miceys!
21 Nov 2001
By Terrie
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Jill Barklem's Brambly Hedge Mice are on a sea adventure this time. Traditonal British rural customs are depicted with inviting illustrations and you can enjoy a mouse eye's view of Dusty's charming boat, The Periwinkle, as they sail off in search of salt. When they meet up with their cousins, the Sea Mice, who moved from the Green Fields to the Dunes long ago, they enjoy a lively cultural exchange that you are sure to enjoy along with them. Treat yourself to a game of dominoes and a candied violet or two and immerse yourself in this enchanting little world. This book reminds me of both Beatrix Potter and "The Wind in the Willows" but I like the illustrations even more than Potter's. There are such lovely and clever details rendered in soft pastels. Sail away with this fun book but don't miss out on the others by Ms. Barklem!

SEA STORY
29 Mar 2000
By Ann D. Call
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
This is a gentle story with wonderful use of the English language and lots of opportunites for discussion with children. Vocabulary words, tides, levers, methods of travel, salt and its necessity and harvesting, manners, feelings, family and friends. The illustrations are cozy and delightful and detailed enough to spend time looking for things with a child so inclined.
